Still alot more to do but we need to get our monies worth out of him. I agree with the general concensus....leave him at prop and get him playing consistently. Prob needs to put on a little weight but I thought he did well tonite compared to many of his performances.

But much much more is required but at least now we have somewhere to work from.

Everytime he did something good (tackle break) he either dropped the ball or pushed the pass and turned it over.

Put any front rower there and they would have done the same job, if not better.

Problem is, for 500K, we are applauding his efforts of a basic frontrower's role...that's the standards we are getting excited about at this club

EXACTLY RIGHT... applauding that performance is ridiculous, we're not here to hand out "most improved" or "encouragement' trophies... hes supposed to be a top class forward and hes being praised for not being quite as pathetic as hes been in EVERY other game he played for us... c'mon guys. he needs to go. ONE line break and he gets so excited he throws it away... thats schoolboy stuff.

I think he played an improved game last night.
It was Sheens that had him trim down and tried to turn him into a running backrower.
The problem with that was, that he bludged on the edge and would not get involved.

He is now best served for the team playing at Prop.....
He will have to beef up again, but I'm now more positive that he can make a good fist of the Prop position and get himself more involved.

Prop is his go from this point on. Its the only way you can Guarantee he'll get involved. Sure he made a couple mistakes last night, but you can't make mistakes if you're not putting your hand up and having a go.

Another positive from last night Blair showed that prop is his position. He will improve as he continues to play in this position and this is good news as there will be good prop rotation between him, Woods, Buchanan, Sue and Ava.

i dont, he was lazy and no that his career/position is on the line he put in for once. I've seen him ensure he is several people out from the play the ball so he doesnt get given the ball. He is just an average lazy 1st grader who looked great in a winning team, as most people do. Try name a bad storm, manly or souths player? it's a lot harder than here.

Play him at prop for sure, but he's never gonna live up to 500k. His performance on friday was worth 250-300k, no more. and i dont think he can do much better.
